Could the very things that drew you to yoga be standing in your way as a teacher? In this episode of Yoga Teacher Confidential, Sage Rountree explores how the strengths that make you a natural fit for yoga can also become blind spots in your teaching. When you haven’t had to struggle with certain aspects of the practice, it can be harder to empathize with students who do. Sage shares personal stories and offers guidance on how to identify and work through these blind spots to become a more effective teacher.

Listen to hear:

• How your natural strengths in yoga can create blind spots in teaching
• Why you are the best teacher for the student you once were
• Tips for identifying and working through your teaching blind spots
• And a few quick stories about body parts and the weird things they do
